A gene expression topology of the developing, postnatal and diseased heart resulted in re-interpretation of ventricular remodeling in terms of rearrangement of key gene regulatory networks that are imbalanced, attenuated, or abnormally activated in the failing myocardium. The underlying principle, Shaping the heart in development and disease becomes a focus of current cardiovascular research with the goal of developing innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to combat cardiovascular disease. In this line, our interests focus on regulatory molecular pathways and identification of novel candidate genes associated with ventricular remodeling in normal and pathological states. The general goal of the project was to establish a piglet model of heart failure induced by the cardiotoxic agent Doxorubicin.

View SamplesIxr1 is a transcriptional factor from Saccharomyces cerevisae with high affinity to cisplatin-DNA adducts through their two HMG-box DNA binding domains. Its transcriptional regulation is essential in the cytotoxicity caused by cisplatin, although the molecular mechanisms supporting this function are not understood. We present a transcriptome analysis discriminating between RNA changes induced by cisplatin which are dependent or independent of the Ixr1 function.
Ixr1 Regulates Ribosomal Gene Transcription and Yeast Response to Cisplatin.

View SamplesSky1 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae rich serine-arginine (SR) protein-specific kinase and its enzymatic activity is essential in the cytotoxicity caused by cisplatin, although the molecular mechanisms supporting this function are not understood. We present a transcriptome analysis discriminating between RNA changes induced by cisplatin which are dependent or independent of the Sky1 function.

View SamplesThe MYB gene family encodes transcription factors with a diverse range of functions in Arabidopsis. This study demonstrated that MYB5, which is expressed in trichomes and seeds, plays a central role in trichome and seed development. A microarray analysis of myb5 seeds identified other members of the MYB5 regulatory network.
The Arabidopsis MYB5 transcription factor regulates mucilage synthesis, seed coat development, and trichome morphogenesis.

View SamplesArabidopsis thaliana MYB80 (formerly MYB103) is expressed in the tapetum and microspores between anther developmental stages 6 and 10. MYB80 encodes a MYB transcription factor that is essential for tapetal and pollen development. In order to identify the genes regulated by MYB80, microarray technology was employed to analyze the expression levels of genes that were differentially regulated in the myb80 mutant and wild- type anthers.
The MYB80 transcription factor is required for pollen development and the regulation of tapetal programmed cell death in Arabidopsis thaliana.
